Natural gas is pretty volatile, I just came across some Arctic winter news and managed to capture 10% of this 60% move ( bad trader) .

Can you please highlight what’s Arctic winter news youre mentioning?
This may not be what you are looking for, but I have always wondered how retail participants can truly make sense of market moves from a fundamental perspective – unless, of course, there is some inside information on an impending move. Processing all the information around natural gas - making sense of it, predicting precise entries and exits, and getting it right while competing against institutional traders with superior tools and data - is extremely difficult. We simply don’t have access to that level of insight or infrastructure.
On top of that, most of us don’t have the luxury of sitting in front of screens, analysing and trading continuously when the market is live between 9:00 AM and 11:30 AM / 12:00 PM.
That’s why I’m a strong believer in technical trading. Read the chart and trade what you see. In the end, it doesn’t really matter what caused the move, as long as the price is moving.

I see that margin in natural gas is now ~1.0 x only. Has it been increased by exchange or Dhan? When we can expect the margin of ~5.0- 6.0x again?
Can’t be sure, but this can be the news - https://finance.yahoo.com/news/us-natural-gas-hits-6-013721202.html#:~:text=The%20winter%20storm%20is%20estimated,transportation%2C%20grounding%20thousands%20of%20flights.
